Spotify Feed Restriction

Spotify is cracking down on fake streams with promises to withhold royalties and remove content

We have just been advised by Spotify that due to continued fraudulent activity emanating from the content delivered to Spotify via Apprise Music, we will be restricted in our delivery to Spotify unless we demonstrate a significant decrease in fraudulent activity.

We will be issuing takedowns in accordance with the Spotify Artificial Streaming report received for October.

As a result of this, we will be issuing takedowns in accordance with the Spotify Artificial Streaming report received for October. I don’t believe I need to relay how devastating a change in our ability to deliver to Spotify could be.

Fake streams are plays of music by bots, hijacked accounts, or other inauthentic listening methods.

If you are not already doing so, we implore you to communicate with users the importance of avoiding services that claim to increase followers and streaming numbers.

If you should have any questions please let us know.
